AP: Kerry Ridicules Bush On "Up In Air" Remark On Terrorism

[Harlan James]

Since I've had a couple of beers, please allow me to say here that Bush really stuck his foot way up his very own ass this time.

From the article:

President Bush and Sen John Kerry stayed on the offensive in swing states Sunday as the presidential race entered its final full week. In a television interview, Bush said it is "up in the air" whether the nation can ever be fully safe from another terror attack ad suggested terrorists may still be contemplating ways to disrupt the election.

Kerry ridiculed Bush's statement, suggesting it echoed an earlier assertion - later withdrawn - by the president that the war on terror could not be won.

"You make me president of the United States, we're going to win the war on terror," Kerry said at an evening rally in Boca Raton, Fla. "It's not going to be up in the air whether we make America safe."

Up in the air? Sounds to be like a Freudian Slip from a little man who would just rather not be president anymore. What a marvelous start to the last full week of this election.

5. It'll only be good on the news cycles if the whores report it

or if everyone on any news or cable show from the Kerry campaign hammers it relentlessly like they did with the Mary Cheney bullshit

Imagine if our guy would have said "up in the air." Sure puts that "nuance" nonsense to shame, huh?!

7. If the media doesn't jump all over this..

..like Bill O'Reilly on some falafel, then we know for certain on which candidate's testicle they stand.
